The Japanese Kounotori2 H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV2), docked to the Earth-facing port of the Harmony node and in the grapple of the Candarm2, is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 26 crew member on the International Space Station. The thin line of Earth's atmosphere and the blackness of space provide the backdrop for the scene.
